Today we celebrate America's forgotten history, emphasizing the moral, religious and constitutional foundation on which America was built. We've all learned lessons and pieces in school, but so much of the story is often left out. Enjoy patriotic songs with Bill Lambert and a performance by Kid's Church.
This year marks 230 years since our founding fathers gave us our national birth certificate. To this day we remain as the longest on-going Constitutional Republic in the history of the world. Blessings like this are not by chance, or by men. They are blessings of God.
We think of July 4th, 1776 as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation.
On the 4th of July, 1776 the Continental Congress _________________________ the final _______________________ of the Declaration of Independence.
Liberty depends first upon our understanding the foundations on which this great country was built and then preserving the principals on which it was founded. Let’s not let the purpose for which we were established be forgotten. The Founding Fathers have passed us a torch, let’s not let it go out.
